5 Designer Bags Expected to Achieve It Status by 2025

      This year is proving to be fantastic for handbags. With a long list of eagerly awaited styles hitting the market, several standout items rank as the most worthwhile investments. We got a glimpse of these handbags during the spring/summer 2025 runway shows, where pieces like the Chanel 25 and Polo Ralph Lauren Polo Play immediately caught our eye. Although they are just now becoming available in stores, they are already poised to be among the key bags of 2025. The Celine Antoinette and Bottega Veneta Ciao Ciao are also set to make a significant impact this season, having already attracted attention from street style enthusiasts and editors alike. Their popularity is heightened by the fact that they come from Hedi Slimane's final collection for Celine and Matthieu Blazy's last collection for Bottega Veneta, which may elevate their status further. Another bag on our radar is the Chloé Paddington, a reissue of the classic style that first appeared in 2005. Chemena Kamali reintroduced the east-west silhouette on the fall/winter 2025 runway, and with wait lists for these new bags rapidly growing, savvy shoppers are already adding original vintage styles to their collections. Below, you'll find details on the best investment bags to consider for 2025.

      **Polo Ralph Lauren Polo Play Bag**

      Whether it's a rare vintage Oxford shirt or one of the highly sought-after new pieces, Polo Ralph Lauren remains a brand every fashion insider desires. The Polo Play bag is one of the most exciting introductions from the brand for spring 2025. This relaxed bucket bag comes in various sizes, from mini to large totes. It launched in Italian leather, offered in vibrant colors like cherry red and parrot green, as well as striped cotton canvas and crocheted options perfect for summer.

      **Chanel 25 Bag**

      What is one of the most awaited bags for spring 2025? The aptly named Chanel 25, first seen in the brand's S/S 25 runway show. Featuring a quilted design, CC closure, and a woven chain strap, this latest bag from Chanel embodies the house's most iconic elements, enhanced with utilitarian cargo pockets. The Chanel 25 bag comes in three sizes, from small enough for daily use to a large tote.

      **Bottega Veneta Ciao Ciao Bag**

      The newly released Ciao Ciao bag represents one of Blazy's final designs for Bottega Veneta. Similar in silhouette to the Andiamo, this top-handle bag features a signature knot detail on a braided band, but a flap closure replaces the open-top style. Crafted from smooth leather, it retains BV's Intrecciato weaving lining the interior pocket. Classic colors like black and ecru were part of the initial offerings, while this season's trendy Rose adds a fresh option.

      **Celine Antoinette Bag**

      Fashion increasingly draws inspiration from the 1950s and 1960s, motivating the downtown crowd to embrace iconic pieces from these decades, including pillbox hats and polished leather gloves. This nostalgic influence is also evident in handbag designs, especially with Celine's notable new bag: the Antoinette. Its elegant frame design harkens back to popular styles of that era, while details like the Triomphe metallic closure give it a contemporary twist.

      **Chloé Paddington Bag**

      Two decades after its debut at the Chloé S/S 05 show by Phoebe Philo, the Paddington is making a comeback. This iconic bag was showcased in Kamali's F/W 25 collection and will officially return later this year. As we eagerly await the re-launch of this cult classic, it's an excellent opportunity to pick up vintage variations.
